2011 NFL Draft: Top 5 Defensive Ends

Ray Edwards is likely to leave via free agency but the Vikings have Brian Robison and Everson Griffin and I believe Robison is perfectly capable of filling Edwards’ shoes and will probably be more productive. I do not, therefore, think the Vikings will pick a defensive end high in the draft. If they do, I think it will likely be in the sixth or seventh round. Nevertheless, the following are the top five defensive ends in the 2011 NFL draft, according to DraftCountdown.com.
